Somebody Must Hang
Out the Clothes
Not only is home washing back-breaking and nerve
■ wearing, but think of the danger in rushing out in the
cold from the hot, steamy robm, and standing there
hanging up the clothes. v
Through the cold winter months, send the washing 1
to Harrisburg's Largest Laundry, the City Star. -We
j .• know you will find it more satisfactory and economical <
than home washing.
Just phone or drop us a card. One of our 11 wagons 1
i will call immediately, and in three days or less, your
1 washtng will be returned, pure, clean, and beautifully
1 1 laundered.
